The French women’s team has received the support of a former glory of French football for its adventure at the World Cup.
1998 World Champion, Lilian Thuram accompanied the passage of the Women’s World Cup trophy. A natural initiative for the former defender, who expresses all his pride in supporting Les Bleues for this great event. While the Blues somewhat missed their entry into the running by conceding a goalless draw against Jamaica this Sunday (0-0), they will be able to benefit from significant support.
“It means something to me”
Thuram, who believes that Hervé Renard is a very “competent” coach, feels concerned by the development of women’s football, as he explained in an interview with L’Équipe.
